Jul 4, 2013 - by Zafrin Nurmohamed, Nabeel Gillani, and Michael Lenox | 9:00 AM ... Year of the MOOC, has given way to a new trough of disillusionment.
Extract from article with mention of Galliani project
We can use MOOCs as platforms for real-world problem solving. This March, over 90,000 life-long learners from 143 countries enrolled in Foundations of Business Strategy, a MOOC offered through Coursera by the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business. These learners enrolled to explore the frameworks and theories underlying successful business strategies. Some came from leading international organizations such as General Electric, Grameenphone, Johnson & Johnson, Samsung, and Walmart. Many others were intrepid entrepreneurs, small business operators, and social venture founders. With their unique backgrounds, the students wove a rich tapestry of ideas and creative insights.
To harness these students' talents, the course's final project invited them to help real organizations by performing a strategic analysis of an existing firm's business operations. In partnership with Coursolve, an initiative founded by two of us that connects organizations with courses to empower students to solve real-world problems, the course enabled a wide range of businesses to take advantage of the global student body's insights and creativity.
One hundred organizations joined the course and actively connected with learners. Organizations of all types participated, from resource-strapped small enterprises to established brick-and-mortar organizations, including one with close to 280,000 employees operating in over 30 countries. http://www.coursolve.org/

check whether he has heard of www.coursera.org and MOOC
Happy 2013- First in kind MOOCs offer urgent opportunity to virally network through youths social network
as youth's number 1 pro-youth economist it would be a great loss not to have a mooc of yunus mindset and actions up there
the easiest mooc platform is www.coursera.org because content is made up of 12 minute modules they look like slides but with a presenter youtube superimposed on bottom right (other integrally designed aspects of the platform scale so millions of youth can become simultaneous collaboration alumni) -also founder daphne koller understands system crisis and deliberately hunts out the most transformative curriculum as ones coursera wants to be chnaging world with
a yunus mooc can also solicit youth competition entries -the biggest virtual channel for youth who wish to change the world inspired by yunus
for a mooc to viralise in 2013 you do need a university to partner coursera in english - arguably professor bhuiyan and tuskegee (moral home of the 100 historically black universities that give social competitions credence in usa and have same luther king roots as where yunus studied in usa) are ideally placed (of course mooc content will later branch into other languages and regional contexts -choosing a first chinese partner would be central to strategy of growing up with 2 giants) - morever mooc space naturally interfaces with wizard youth mobile and open source technologists, a sector bangladesh can be a world leader in thanks to yunus being seen as leader of most exciting apps of e-
(better yet if tuskegee is first partner it should then either set up a virtual branch in capitals like dc or join with yunus in choosing one biggest university partner per capital - for example hec smba will never have the worldwide economic impact sarkozi and riboud and faber and faivre-tavignol and yunus wanted unless it goes mooc- french embassy in dc still idea space to host such an uodated debate on how yunus inspitred technolgists can chnage the world cf discussion yunus and I had when we hoped gold medal would be awarder during obama's first admin while he had majprity of both houses)
empowering obama's and yunus yes youth can strategies both need moocs, as does transformation of any nation's aid to be bottom up -for example obama's lead attempts to taake food security bottom up www.feedthefuture.gov need a mooc
gently remind yunus that father's friends and I have been testing online education www.futurehistorian.tv for 40 years and that is where the genre of entrepreneurial revolution and net generation futures began in The Economist in mid 1970s and became both a call for a millennium goals and youth productivity post-indsutrial movement in dad and my 1984 book
norman macrae remembrance parties continue to survey who else has content that millions of youth want to become action alumni of - eg sarah's green energy curriculum; if a positive connection could be designed between yunus mooc and sarah mooc then she can also remind economist sharehilders this is the 170th birthday of being founded to mediate an end to hunger - see happy 2013 card; there is also an extraordinary win-win mooc to design around monica's call to millions of youth to change heroes around artists peacecorps but of course its up to yunus to choose who he wants to mooc with , and whether declaring a wish to mooc youth-and-yunus-economics with fan appropriate message at congress gold medal

ge scale moocs like courser as a different segment X-mooc; fortunately (imo) Khan Academy keeps the best characteristics of ever mooc thriving that is:
if what we need is a benchmark always online free course up in one mooc clearing house- starting with topics millions of youth can gain from most: eg 1 maths, 2 learning about healthcare
here's a conversation posted at hastac inspired by my 90 minute interview with Rheingold- what cultures have parents who don't want schools to empower childrens curiosity, why, how do we reconcile this with 2 generation's of my family work on 2010s potentially being youth'sgreatest ever learning and collaborative interacting age?
…

it is unclear whether coursera japan uni partner will link into that - surveys on this issue current at www.yunusyouth.com
linkedin has some lively conversation spaces on mooc but not on valuing youth

Posted on February 7, 2013 by EDC MOOC Activity 161-180
There has been quite a bit of talk around the “higher ed bubble” the last year or so and MOOC’s definitely have a part to play in the whole scenario. In his post “Napster, Udacity, and the Academy” Clay Shirky compares higher ed to the music/movie industry and his comparison and a lot of what he said hit home for me. There are many people out there who claim that you just can’t get the same type of education online as you can in class. Continue reading →

Charter of 2013 Year of MOOC. version Xmas Day 2012
jargon MOOC - Massive Online Open Curriculum - Has education value chain ever seen a greater gamechanger?
Following the mid-december dialogues in Dhaka, Norman Macrae Foundation and associated AsiaPacific.cc journalists including correspondents of Consider Bangladesh and Japan are delighted to call for support of 2013 Year of MOOC
Out of Scotland, the idea that the journal of social business can become a directory (eg use its back page to become an updating register) to bottom-up MOOCS and help lead the call for microeducationsummit to value this as one of its panels or tracks.
.
We do so hope that a quorum of existing editors and scots inspired by adam smith and james wilson will agree. Skinner's comments on how Adam Smith valued education in issue 1 of JOSB suggest that Adam would have loved MOOCS. Knowing how much time Tom Hunter as put into reforming Scottish children's education and exploration of entrepreneurship, I hope he will join you in advancing this call out of scotland.
Below, I have scribbled a one pager on why pro-youth economics needs 2013 to be The Year of The MOOC - would it be possible to get both yunus and sir fazle abed to write a short letter supporting this? -it would be fantastic if that could happen before alabama as releasing that news would then be in time for tokyo' 12000 student competition and the debriefings I am helping to convene of MIT students in february which you indicated sir fazle would like to be debriefed on in march; we would also try and host with sarah butler-sloss (dhaka visit) and the japan ambassador questions like how are bottom up moocs of green energy to be open sourced. I was also informed by the leader of the climate crisis policy group in Beijing that 2013 is the year when the top chinese decision makers want green energy networking to be led by local communities
There is a window of opportunity to get open source technologists -and everyone to use berners lee slogan that opened the olympics "the web is for everyone" content specifying MOOCS before top-down siloised mindsets do. Right now MOOC is an opportunity to ensure that youth have direct access to every action learning of yunus and abed's lives of innovations
IF anyone sees a way to improve the one-pager so that it words the call in the way that bangladesh's massive village networkers at 42 celebrate this as their call then please do that -it may be that mostofa could see if mrs begum and yunus want a joint discussion on this- one problem being that you need to sit down round a terminal and demonstrate some MOOCs before the greatest educational action learners can seize the opportunity to do moocs their way
if we can start with abed and yunus endorsing this I would then suggest we get ingrid munro and taddy blecher endorsing this as well as ask sam and michael who are the other people they would want to see leading a pane on MOOCS tha6 microcredit and pro-youth economists need to help to make the worldwide online benchmark
of course one MOOC context is simply -how do you share cross-cultural understanding around the worldwide web of the bangladesh microcredit model at the various key stages of financial literacy and celebrating banks with value- ie pre-adolescence, before end of secondary and later stages
happy 2013 chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk washngton dc hotline 1 301 881 1655

Microeducationsummit calls for Microecredit leaders and worldwide youth to be first to choose MOOCS of Job Creating Education
Forty years ago The Economist became the first global new medium to question how the coming of the internet would change the total education chain, job creation, investment in youth leading open technology to co-produce the most exciting millennium goals. (eg reference Gordon Dryden JOSB issue1)
The end of 2012 issue of The Economist discusses Massive Online Open Curriculum as arguably the greatest gamechanger to the education value chain. While MOOCs have emerged at the tertiary stage in USA, student entrepreneur competitions are already demanding MOOCS at secondary and prinary stages on such topics as:
Financial Literacy - the world's most popular children's curriculum "AFLATOUN" emerged from slumchildren - how do we put it online
Aquaponics and other bottom-up job creating networks inspired by food security
How Biogas cooking stoves can be a secondary curriculum for discussing which waste can your community most economically turn into bioenergy- reference MIT globalchallenge 2012
Helping children celebrate wherever open source apps change future job specifications- the open source nurse beingan apprenticeship and 21st C job specification that Grameen has decided is most important to pioneer now that it has 16 years of worldwide leadership in testing mobile phones in poorest villages (references the first 4 stateswide social business competitions hosted by Muhammad Yunus in Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, Oregon and various papers on Free Nursing Coleges and open source medical)
The origins of Bangladesh microcredit saw revolutions in bottom-up banking and bottom-up education as inseparable. This culture multiplied because village mothers voted for their lives being invested in their children's productive freedom and happiness. Before that the first curriculum, Grameen and BRAC adapted Frieres pedagogy of the Oppressed to provide intensive mentoring beyond adult illiteracy as far as it was necessary to run a family business from a woman's home. Soon BRAC was becoming the integral host of rural primary and secondary schools, while Grameen's articles of membership and banking branches accreditation required every members child to attend primary school and created the biggest secondary scholarship fund from the members savings. In the biography of BRAC "Freedom From Want" John Smillie argues that the first sustainable charity model designed by Sir Fazle Abed concerned the publishing of informal primary curriculum which tens of thousands of schools became linked into.
Other leaders of microcredits have found that empowerment curriculum are necessary before a prospective client has self-confidence to start taking out a loan. In other cases, microcredits co-create bottom-up sectors because microentrepreneurs who innovate a sustainable franchise in their community are happy to lead peer to peer learning of how to replicate the franchise. For example pop-up catering in various modes has emerged in some countries through an association of people who loved becoming income generating through cooking and serving nutritious food. Knowledge Society co-working of the sort Peter Drucker imagined and the Japanese "BA" curriculum used to replace managers by servant leaders. https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/7082/372610v20JP0Kn1y01OFFICIAL0USE0ONY1.txt?sequence=2
At the journal of social business, we welcome nominations of curricula that are most valued by bottom-up microcredit leaders and the youth they inspire across our global village world and the united race to poverty museums. We call for microeducationsummit becoming a clearing house of bottom-up MOOCS. Like The Economist forty years ago, we cheer on rational optimisation of investing in net generation youth to co-produce the most exciting goals of any generation. 2013 as the Year of MOOCS can be the gamechangers to help make this happen. Urgency is needed in any practice area like climate crisis where we who are alive today are the first generation to understand the crisis exists and the last to be in time to resolve it.
The collaboration blog http://youth10000education.blogspot.com asks the question how many of youth's 10000 greatest job creators will be involved in education and celebrates MOOCS that illuminate this search.…

iki
but where else -and through what other web tools - could professors and alumni share their knowhow and turn this into income generating actions? for example some moocs invite you to join a linkin group before they start the course
potentially this links every alumni's social business network in ways that go far broader than the university's or the mooc platforms links…

chris writes I love negotiating C is it course, curriculum, collaboration, community-sustainability, and indeed every way mooc acronym can link to bereners lee original Maps OF Open Collaboration ...: lets negotiate every value multiplier the brand name MOOC can linkin as long as youth win the war to make the internet the smartest most collaborative media ever interacted not tv age's most dumbing and command-controlled
Howard writes; Does it continue to make sense to go to college when the sticker price of a college education is soaring, the amount of debt college students are taking on – even for the non-elite universities and what were formerly affordable public universities – is severely constraining their choices post-graduation, and job prospects for new graduates are dismal? One clickaway at DIYU - one of the most exciting meeting announcements I can ever recall reading :
\The MOOC Is Dead! Long Live Open Learning! July 18, 2013
We’re at a curious point in the hype cycle of educational innovation, where the hottest concept of the past year–Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs–is simultaneously being discovered by the mainstream media, even as the education-focused press is declaring them dead. “More Proof MOOCs are Hot,” and “MOOCs Embraced By Top Universities,” said the Wall Street Journal and USA Today last week upon the announcement that Coursera had received a $43 million round of funding to expand its offerings; “Beyond MOOC Hype” was the nearly simultaneous headline in Inside Higher Ed.
Can MOOCs really be growing and dying at the same time?
The best way to resolve these contradictory signals is probably to accept that the MOOC, itself still an evolving innovation, is little more than a rhetorical catchall for a set of anxieties around teaching, learning, funding and connecting higher education to the digital world. This is a moment of cultural transition. Access to higher education is strained. The prices just keep rising.
Questions about relevance are growing. The idea of millions of students from around the world learning from the worlds’ most famous professors at very small marginal cost, using the latest in artificial intelligence and high-bandwidth communications, is a captivating one that has drawn tens of millions in venture capital. Yet, partnerships between MOOC platforms and public institutions like SUNY and the University of California to create self-paced blended courses and multiple paths to degrees look like a sensible next step for the MOOC, but they are far from that revolutionary future. Separate ideas like blended learning and plain old online delivery seem to be blurring with and overtaking the MOOC–even Blackboard is using the term.

The time seems to be ripe for a reconsideration of the “Massive” impact of “Online” and “Open” learning. The Reclaim Open Learning initiative is a growing community of teachers, researchers and learners in higher education dedicated to this reconsideration. Supporters include the MIT Media Lab and the MacArthur Foundation-supported Digital Media and Learning Research Hub. I am honored to be associated with the project as a documentarian and beater of the drum.
Entries are currently open for our Innovation Contest, offering a $2000 incentive to either teachers or students who have projects to transform higher education in a direction that is connected and creative, is open as in open content and open as in open access, that is participatory, that takes advantage of some of the forms and practices that the MOOC also does but is not beholden to the narrow mainstream MOOC format (referring instead to some of the earlier iterations of student-created, distributed MOOCscreated by Dave Cormier, George Siemens, Stephen Downes and others.)
Current entries include a platform to facilitate peer to peer language learning, a Skype-based open-access seminar with guests from around the world, and a student-created course in educational technology. Go here to add your entry! Deadline is August 2. Our judges include Cathy Davidson (HASTAC), Joi Ito (MIT), and Paul Kim (Stanford).
Reclaim Open Learning earlier sponsored a hackathon at the MIT Media Lab. This fall, September 27 and 28, our judges and contest winners will join us at a series of conversations and demo days to Reclaim Open Learning at the University of California, Irvine.

monopoly was the exact opposite of what Adam Smith recommended for a free nation to be progressed by its next generations.
One of the world;s first MOOC Camp was formed by interesting triple win-win-win partnership:
the courser MOOC platform with its 100 world class partners
the US Secretary of State
and local university partners in 40 countries around the world
now youth could be stimulated for free by the world's best content classes online while paying for local mentoring and testing at affordable prices
This is only one way that youth can network to ensure that open university education multiplies far more value than the closed university education monopoly served. Help us micro-wiki best for youth MOOC camp partnerships- we wish to publish a catalogue of this god news in time for the 25000 youth celebration of open society everything with Muhammad Yunus Fall 2015 out of Altantasponsored by the likes of Ted Turner, co-championed by Jimmy Carter and the action networks of many Nobel Laureates…

Dad (Norman Macrae) created the genre Entrepreneurial Revolution to debate how to make the net generation the most productive and collaborative . We had first participated in computer assisted learning experiments in 1972. Welcome to more than 40 years of linking pro-youth economics networks- debating can the internet be the smartest media our species has ever collaborated around?

1972: Norman Macrae starts up Entrepreneurial Revolution debates in The Economist. Will we the peoples be in time to change 20th C largest system designs and make 2010s worldwide youth's most productive time? or will we go global in a way that ends sustainability of ever more villages/communities? Drayton was inspired by this genre to coin social entrepreneur in 1978 ,,continue the futures debate here
